Immigration reforms for curbing falling birthrate
© markhillary
This is what Koreans feel. Korean parliamentary think tanks are of the opinion that policymakers of the country should give eye and ear to immigration reforms when preparing a strategy to curb falling birthrate in the country. They are of the opinion that government should amend its immigration policy for attracting highly skilled workers. Survey conducted has shown that Koreans have no problems with foreigners landing on their soil as they feel that they are hardworking and would contribute towards cultural diversity.

Experts feel that the positive attitude of Koreans towards foreigners working on their soil would make it simpler for the government to consider immigration as means for curbing falling birthrate. In number of European countries even subsidies, maternity leave and other types of monetary compensations have not been able to arrest falling birthrates and a number of empirical studies have suggested that immigration is one of the options to deal with it.

If the opinion is that immigration can counter falling birthrate then in order to attract migrants to the country the government should offer benefits in the form of social welfare, education and tax concessions to them and their families if it has to be made a reality.
